The company launched its ligament-driven balancing technology with the new ExactechGPS software upgrade. It enhances the proprietary Newton Knee balancing technique to enable simultaneous planning of femur and tibia resections. The new technology leverages intraoperative ligament laxity and alignment data.
Gainesville, Florida-based Exactech’s knee system features 3D-printed Truliant cementless components and advanced Activit-E polyethylene inserts. It offers a dynamic system capable of meeting the needs of younger, more active patients, the company says.
The ExactechGPS, first introduced in 2010, has been used in more than 75,000 total knee replacements to date. Launched exclusively for the GPS software, Newton Knee integration offers dynamic soft tissue analytics. It also offers pre-resection operative insights and full-range personalized planning. Exactech says it simplifies, evaluates and executes well-balanced total knee replacement procedures.
“The evolution of our digital knee platform demonstrates Exactech’s dedication to providing our surgeon partners with advanced technology for ligament-driven, personalized knee surgery,” said Pete Cipolletti, senior director of marketing for Exactech Knee & AST. “With over 3,000 cases completed to date, the Newton Knee technique has rapidly become the favored method for GPS-guided knee replacements, confirming our conviction that embracing the principles of modern alignment is essential to enhancing patient satisfaction in total knee replacement.”
